I want a really really good horror movie. What should I rent?

[QUOTE="biggest_loser"][QUOTE="SnappyService"] Let the right one was more of a love story with vampire themes. And Psycho is a psychological thriller, A big a building block for the slasher genre but really I wouldn't consider it one. Both great movies though.SnappyService

The Toxic Avenger. A true cult classic.

Les Diaboliques is a 50's film but the ending got my heart racing like no other.Jazz_Fan

There's always Un Chien Andalou for some old 1929 horror...

it's actually not bad. It had the first explicit violence seen in the mainstream cinema.

The Blair Witch Project. Amazingly smart how the directors made it (it was them throwing rocks at the tent).blackngold29

Yep, for sure. Still the scariest movie I've seen, and I've seen a hell of a lot of horror movies :P.

[QUOTE="Hot-Tamale"]

[QUOTE="Jazz_Fan"] Certainly an odd film, I hated the soundtrack that was playing when I watched it try to make more surreal but it took away from it. But that has nothing to do with the film itself. :P The eye cutting scene was done very well especially for 1929 and Its really have imprinted in my mind. Jazz_Fan

Yesterday I saw The Orphan and thought it was pretty effective.

There are too many still...

I'm talking about the originals, stay away from crappy Hollywood remakes.

Check out the reviews at Arrow in the Head. I usually agree with them and they are funny.

How could I forget all those awesome Cronenberg movies?! Videodrome is one of the most effed up movies I've ever seen, as is The Fly (the remake), Dead Ringers, or most unsettling of all, Crash (the 1994 movie, not the other one). Crash is about people who get sexually aroused by car accidents and violence. There is a particularly disturbing scene where a man has sex with a woman, but not in any sexual cavity; instead, it's in one of her wounds (the movie's rated NC-17 for a reson, btw).

Cronenberg also made A History of Violence and Eastern Promises; he kind of stopped making horror movies ten years ago.

Session 9 was either a love-it-or-hate-it movie, and you could say I was one of the people who hated it :P

I'm serious, there was absolutely no closure and you never know what the hell happened after an insanely boring hour and a half. It had such promise in the beginning, but it was marred by substandard acting and poor character development, in my opinion. :evil:

Of course, I've never seen a zombie movie I actually liked, so I guess it could still be the best of a genre full of nothing but lame movies.

Fair enough, I liked how it didnt explain anything. It implied something, but it didnt tell you anything which to me worked perfectly.

august underground, dont remember the full name of it

Wow, cant beleive no ones mentioned that.

I dunno. Blair Witch worked, Session 9 didn't.

Rec. It's spanish with englih subtitles.

Believe me, the fact that it's Spanish makes it that much scarier.

Take 2 north?

like by the dome?

avatar_genius

Thanks.

You won't be disappointed. Three Extremes is a great collection. I'm not sure if I would categorize the films as horror, at least in the western sense of the genre. Some of the images and concepts, however, are pretty disturbing. Watch "Dumplings" and try to eat Chinese pot stickers again.

Jacob's Ladder (One of the best I've ever seen)

Martyrs (Most brutal movie I have ever seen)

A Tale of Two Sisters (One of the best twists I've ever seen in a movie)

Splinter (Great monster movie)

I could name more, but those should do for now.

The Thing or Alien both are perfect movies IMO

TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE

The Underworld trilogy is pretty good.

[REC] for your scary thrills

High Tension for your awesome, gory, brainscrew

It hasn't received spectacular reviews, but I've heard a lot of people say that The Strangers is one of the most genuinely scary movies out there.

High tension was pretty good, but the ending was just stupid and illogical.

I thought it was ok, I loved how Glenn Howerton from Always sunny in philadelphia was in it.

Avoid both of those recommendations at all costs
